Chris: Welcome back to another episode of the Mythic Draft podcast. I'm Chris.
subartic: And I'm at half frozen run.
Chris: Yeah, it is chilly.
subartic: It was 10 degrees when I went to the gym this morning. And as soon as I turned the corner, just 50 mile an hour winds up my face.
Chris: Oh.
subartic: Brutal.
Chris: Yeah, yeah, it was 14 when I went to work.
subartic: Yeah. That's, we've reached the level of cold where it's like, don't go outside people.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: We're not prepared
Chris: I had a meeting downtown and I walked, you know, down the plaza to the government office building and my face hurt by the end of the walk.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: So.
subartic: It's brutal.
Chris: Yeah. Penguins. Oh, no, you do it.
subartic: Well, they're built for it.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: This big round belly's a blubber.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: You're not.
subartic: Everything's frozen up here.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
subartic: It's great.
Chris: Well, I can't believe that we got a half inch of snow last night and they canceled school today.
subartic: You got snow last night?
Chris: Yes.
subartic: No, we didn't.
Chris: Yeah, we got a half inch of snow.
subartic: Huh.
Chris: And I was behind this person last night who was driving 15 miles an hour and the snow was literally being blown off of the roadway. I was like, there's no snow on the road.
Chris: Go.
subartic: we We got snow. ah sunday
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Sunday when like Gettysburg and Western Maryland all got hit pretty hard, but we only got like an inch But now it's all just frozen everywhere Yeah, I think it's supposed to hit 37 tomorrow so
Chris: so Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yep. And then all the fire departments will be busy now, like Sunday and into Monday when everything starts to thaw out and all the frozen pipes start to leak. Hmm.
subartic: fun times for the fire department.
Chris: Wait, it's not supposed to be 37 down here tomorrow.
subartic: Oh, maybe over here.
Chris: Oh.
subartic: It's crazy how wildly different ah the the weather is between my house and yours.
Chris: Well, it's because you're so much further north, so the polar vortex.
subartic: It's not that.
Chris: And when you pass the, you know. 12th latitude and.
subartic: No, it's the bay.
Chris: Yeah, yeah, you're right.
subartic: totally the bay because I'm at the head of the bay and everything the bay just it's a whole different weather thing it's cool because we're what about a hundred miles apart from each other yeah there's the elk neck is probably 10 miles from me
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you've and you're kind of bookended by Bayes, so. Yeah.
subartic: And then I could be at the Delaware Bay, and don't really know where the bay starts and the river begins.
Chris: yeah
subartic: So somewhere in there.
Chris: So. but Why is it all across the eastern shore? Places are neck elk neck, you know, hog neck, beaver neck.
subartic: Hmm.
Chris: It's like, what why? Why the neck?
subartic: Doesn't a neck refer to a narrow strip of land that's, you know, kind of like an isthmus or a peninsula?
Chris: Does it?
subartic: I think so.
Chris: It's just weird.
subartic: It is weird. Or Kits Hummock.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: I'm sorry, what?
subartic: just like Kits Hummock.
Chris: Kaitomik.
subartic: Kits Hummock. Hummock.
Chris: yeah um like Okay.
subartic: H -U -M -M -O -C -K. Hummock. It's a, I guess it's an old timey word for hill.
Chris: Okay.
subartic: There's like one random hill in the marsh of like a Dover area called Kits Hummock.
Chris: Okay.
Chris: and
subartic: Yeah. But you have a budget necks, we only have one.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Peggy neck.
subartic: What, in their neck district?
Chris: Oh yeah. Yeah, down near a long neck.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Don't get that confused with short neck.
Chris: Hell, I.
subartic: I always find naming of places interesting. Why are they called?
Chris: Yeah, a neck is an airstrip of land that resembles the neck of an animal. It can refer to a peninsula, an upland between river meanders or a remnant of a volcano.
subartic: ah
Chris: Well, that's a hell of a stretch.
subartic: yeah
Chris: Yeah, don't get that mixed up. Yeah, we're going to the neck. Oh, that little stripper. It's a volcano.
subartic: A neck refers to the shape of the peninsula. So it is still a peninsula. It's just that it's about the shape of it.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: hu It's a fun fact.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: What's it? yeah What's the difference between a plateau and a mesa?
subartic: Oh, our mix is higher.
Chris: no
subartic: I thought you did the answer.
Chris: No! No, I was just throwing that out there.
subartic: Oh.
subartic: Well, a plateau you tap, er.
Chris: it's like And when does a hill become a mountain?
subartic: Mmm.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: ah
subartic: A Mesa is an isolated, broad, isolated, broad, flat top mountain with at least one steep side. It's formed by erosion, whereas a plateau is an extensive raised flat surface area.
Chris: OK.
subartic: And then there's a Butte, as in, ain't that a Butte?
Chris: Oh, she's a beaut, Clark.
subartic: Hmm.
Chris: yeah
subartic: So maces are eroded and they have cliffs on all sides and a butte is, uh, just smaller.
Chris: Hmm. What's it? Hmm. That's the difference between a stream and a creek.
subartic: Yeah. See, that's a regional thing, I think, because to me, a stream is a crick.
Chris: or crick.
subartic: But a creek is something that's like a stream. You can step over a creek. You have to walk through.
Chris: See, I would think it would be the exact opposite.
subartic: See, like.
subartic: Valley stream by me, you can step across, but White Clay Creek ah is, I don't know, 50 feet wide some places.
Chris: Hmm.
subartic: So to me, a creek and a stream are the same, but a creek is different.
Chris: Gotcha.
subartic: That's to me, I don't know what new.
Chris: I got.
Chris: I don't know, I think they just make things up as they go and.
subartic: Sure.
Chris: What a stream is a body of water that flows in a channel between banks, while a creek is a small stream of water.
subartic: What?
Chris: Yeah, I guess it's just this. Yeah, they're talking about size. A creek turns into a stream which turns into a river.
subartic: I got that backwards, because to me, it's bigger and smaller.
Chris: I don't know.
Chris: What's the difference between a creek and a ditch? A ditch doesn't have water. Ditches do have water.
subartic: That's fair.
Chris: And there are perennial, intermittent and ephemeral streams.
subartic: What about a brook?
Chris: Oh, yeah.
subartic: A babbling brook.
Chris: ah
Chris: According to the definition, it's a catchment area from 10 square kilometers to 100 square kilometers, but smaller bodies of water were constant water flow and where fish occur.
subartic: That's a brook.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Swiftly flowing in rugged terrain of lesser length and volume than a creek. Oh, my gosh.
subartic: ah
Chris: I'm just, yeah. No.
subartic: But I still don't understand, like, the stream versus creek thing.
Chris: Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. At what point do you cut it off?
subartic: Right. Right.
subartic: Like if we're saying a stream is a smaller version of a river, what the hell is the difference between a creek and a stream then?
Chris: Yeah. I don't know.
Chris: Somebody out there should figure this out and report back.
subartic: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah, ah Justin.
Chris: and Somebody out there right now going, Holy crap. ah Yeah.
subartic: You gotta work on this.
subartic: You think it's a like a turbulence thing? Like a speed?
Chris: Maybe. Yeah, I don't I don't know. Yes, I mean, some rivers move really fast, but
subartic: Yeah, yeah. We all started this on the talk about necks.
Chris: Yep, go from next to Rivers. Oh, yeah.
subartic: Guess I always assume they're next to be very narrow.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Yeah.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah, but I mean, like if you go by that definition, you know, where it's a narrow strip that goes out, I mean,
subartic: Hmm.
Chris: Well, now I guess that wouldn't be because it's not what would like the Yucatan Peninsula almost be a neck.
subartic: I mean, it could be.
Chris: I guess. Or it juts out into the Gulf of America.
Chris: I had to as the dumbest thing. We have just entered into an area of idiocy.
subartic: yeah Yeah, we've released a new level of low.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I'm still self -researcing this Crick vs. Brooke thing.
Chris: It's going to come to you as an epiphany tomorrow.
Chris: Yeah, you'll be covering that engine um in Montgomery County.
subartic: Oh, mountains have a well -defined summit.
Chris: That's a creek.
Chris: Oh, OK. Huh.
subartic: ah
Chris: Hills are just going to raised.
subartic: The Geological Survey considers something a mountain if it has a higher local relief of 1 ,000 feet. But that definition was changed in the 70s. That doesn't tell me what it's changed to.
Chris: It's changed in the 70s. Yeah, it used to be 950 feet.
subartic: I'm gonna go with the summit thing.
Chris: Yeah, I think this moment makes a little bit more sense.
subartic: Mountains have submits.
subartic: Yeah. Yeah.
subartic: See?
Chris: It's part of the podcast brought to you by geography.
subartic: Yeah, the ge geological survey. Which can't hire anybody to... That's why we can't get answers, because they can't hire anybody to take people out of their website.
subartic: Trying to... Trying to not let with the rage of the world get over me, overtake me.
Chris: Yeah, that's a good idea.
subartic: It's tough.
Chris: Yes.
subartic: Oh man, I had this talk today.
Chris: Uh oh.
subartic: We talked a lot about Dragon Age, the new one.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Man, that game went nowhere.
Chris: Right, yeah it just like came and went and.
subartic: And like, nobody talks about it.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
subartic: i don't I haven't tried it yet because again the reviews weren't very good. would it What do you think they did wrong? Or what do you think they have to do to win people back?
Chris: Well, I think it was like we talked about that one time where it seemed like it was such a drastic difference from the first game. And the last two were already in there like, oh, we're getting back to Dragon Age.
Chris: we're Like, OK, cool, cool. And then we saw like some trailers and some gameplay and we're like, this is not like the original. So what is this? And yeah.
subartic: Yeah Do you think it's maybe reached a point where sequels just can't survive any longer I feel like call of duty breaks that rule Because they're just like this is the new Update of the thing that everybody likes it seems like that's what they do Right Because everybody likes the
Chris: Yeah. What? Right, yeah. Yeah, because it's more just update stuff than anything.
subartic: Was the war zone now, so they do wars on h1 the other like zombies It seemed to they seem to just say we're just gonna give you what you like which seems Seems pretty smart, right?
Chris: Yeah. Yeah, zombies is back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: I mean, zombies is a ton of fun right now. So, yeah.
subartic: Yeah, people seem to enjoy it let's do that Yeah
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. but And I think part of it is, I mean, the development cycle takes forever sometimes. And. ah Yeah.
Chris: I don't know.
Chris: It's it's definitely weird. And then, you know, it's. like Inevitably, though, people, you know, They'll come out with a sequel that is very similar to the first game.
Chris: You know, they polish them stuff, you know, expand the story or whatever. People are like, why didn't you take it in a totally new direction? It's like, well, we've tried that before and you don't buy that.
subartic: Right.
Chris: So what you you you can't have it both ways.
subartic: You know, but it's, it's true.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Sadly is that they can't win.
Chris: No, we no, it's.
subartic: You know, that's almost part of the problem though, is that they've won once.
Chris: yeah
subartic: It's like the gambler's policy, right?
Chris: Right.
subartic: Like we did Dragon Age and it was great. People loved it. And then they keep chasing that and it never works the same.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
subartic: You know, it's like Halo.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I love the Halo universe. There are what? Seven Halo games out there and only three are any good.
Chris: Yeah, I was gonna.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: You know.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: And they just always they're trying to chase that.
Chris: Right.
subartic: Over and over and over again, it's not going to work.
Chris: Yeah. Well, it's like the reiteration of Mario, every console generation and things like that. I mean, it's. It's definitely hit and miss with those, too.
subartic: Oh, I couldn't tell you how many Marios there have been now. you couldn't I could even guess, you know, 30?
Chris: Oh, yeah. ah ah Probably.
subartic: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's got to be up there.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: And I would say two of them are any good.
Chris: Yeah, once I heard this very similar argument the other day, because, that you know, Nintendo announced the switch to or yeah, I think it's called switch to. And they were like, yeah. And, you know, one of the you could see gameplay of, you know, Mario Kart nine. And they were talking to like, oh, you know, what do they need to do in the set? And the one guy was like, they just need to update Mario Kart eight, you know, make it a fun Mario Kart game.
subartic: right
Chris: And the other guy was like, no, no, no, they need to do this and that. And they're like, no, just give us what we, you know, we everybody loves Mario Kart eight.
subartic: Right.
Chris: Just, you know, make it better. Add a couple of things. It's like, well, then just add an update to it. It's like, well, Nintendo can't do that with some of their hardware. So, yeah.
subartic: Right.
Chris: But yeah, just give the people what they want. It doesn't have to be totally, you know, changing each time.
subartic: I'm supposed to give him
Chris: You know, I'm sure there's There's somebody like with some gimmick that's like, Oh, well this time you have to have, you know, you can pick who your pit crew is and so and so we'll put the lug nuts on faster. so There'll be like 5 % of gamers that are like, Oh, this is awesome.
Chris: And then everybody else like, okay.
subartic: right right if you're playing mario kart you want to play mario kart right you want to play a mario kart type game give me mario kart yeah i make it nice put new characters in there fine but i don't want it to be the new reimagining of mario kart with a single player campaign right
Chris: Right. Yeah.
Chris: yeah
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: yeah
subartic: but remember I mean Call of Duty 4 or Modern Warfare 2 or whatever that number. ah Everybody was like, we don't care about the single player. We just want to play multiplayer.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Stop giving a single player.
Chris: Right.
subartic: They never did, but yeah that's all anybody cared about.
Chris: Yeah. Well, there was that. Yeah, what was that one that like the campaign was like two and a half hours or something?
subartic: Yeah, nobody liked it. Nobody played it.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
subartic: Because you weren't playing Call of Duty for that. That wasn't why you you got that game.
Chris: Right.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: That's my problem with Dragon Age Inquisition was the whole time. I was like this isn't a Dragon Age to me, So frustrating So frustrating The healing in that game but That time you play a game that
Chris: Right. But Ron, healers shouldn't be able to heal. They should only be able to make potions. God, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
subartic: doesn't understand healing like if you're playing a game where you're like I have to freaking scrap and scrape for healing it's just not a fun experience and about
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Right. Everybody knows in when you're playing a game and you find a healing potion or anything like that, you hoard them like a dragon and you never use them. And then you get to the very end of the game and you realize that you have, you know, 100 healing potions and 10 strength potions or whatever your inventory that you never used.
subartic: And you know what game's fault that is?
Chris: Zelda.
subartic: Resident Evil.
Chris: Oh, God, yes.
subartic: You had to keep those stupid herbs in your pocket all the time.
Chris: Yes, you're like, oh, my God, I have found five red herbs.
subartic: And they were so...
Chris: This does mean nothing.
subartic: Yep. Yep.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Stupid Resident Evil has ruined generations.
Chris: Yeah, that's true.
subartic: Yep.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah, it's like I could use it, but I only took one hit and if I use it, it'll be a waste. Well, now I'm down three hits, and if I use it, it's not going to do anything.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
subartic: Mm -hmm, mm -hmm.
Chris: Damn you, Resident Evil.
subartic: Damn you, Resident Evil.
Chris: Yeah, that'd be Capcom. Yeah, Capcom. Way to go, Capcom.
subartic: And that was back when Capcom was, like, banging out the hits.
Chris: Bunch of jerks.
Chris: Oh, yeah.
subartic: Resident Evil Marvel versus Capcom Was Mega Man Capcom originally?
Chris: Yeah, Street Fighter.
Chris: Yeah, I think so.
subartic: Yeah, I think so too Oh
Chris: Yeah. God, the old Mega Man games were so much fun.
subartic: man Mega Man it was awesome Like the Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 2 probably two of the best games of their was so simple
Chris: and Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
subartic: You just jump, kill a boss, take his weapon.
Chris: Yep. And then, oh, look, this weapon was probably good against this guy.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's an ice guy. I just beat a fire guy. I should probably go after the ice guy next.
subartic: yeah so is
Chris: Yeah. Oh.
subartic: Any other games on your radar right now?
Chris: Yeah, I wasn't talking and diving and sliding. It was just like you said, jump, shoot, jump, shoot.
subartic: Oh yeah, the diving. Yeah, jump and shoot, that's all. I think in Mega Man 2 you could have double jump.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: yeah Maybe.
subartic: Maybe.
Chris: Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I don't I don't know game wise on my radar.
Chris: I don't know.
subartic: Yeah, I haven't... I haven't really seen anything that's jumped out at me.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: ah
Chris: I mean, I know I'll play it the ghost of Yotai, the ghost of Tsushima sequel. I'm sure that would be great, but It's not like I'm like clamoring for anything.
subartic: Yeah, I'm not playing that.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: What does that happen?
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I don't know how you beat yourself that much.
Chris: I mean.
Chris: ah Yeah, yeah, there's no real I mean, there are a couple of souls like games coming out, I'm sure I'll try. Because I have a hate for myself and yeah.
subartic: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I've been...
Chris: But.
subartic: putzing around with games, that's about it, I can't say I've...
Chris: Yeah, yeah, i I still, you know, I log in to Call of Duty every now and again, shoot some people in the face. I've been going back to a couple of games and just, you know, working on some trophies and just yeah mindlessly running around hacking and slashing.
subartic: I'm gonna say something that's gonna make me funny to you.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I meant to play games with my brother today, and the game we were gonna play had an update. It took us two hours to update this game. And then at the end of it, it crashed the game.
Chris: What?
Chris: Really?
subartic: So I had to uninstall the game. Yeah.
Chris: Why didn't it take two hours?
subartic: I don't know, it was something's... something's futzed up with the game.
Chris: Oh, it was probably interacting. It was probably the Excel PDF interaction.
subartic: Yeah, it was definitely the x Excel spreadsheet, yeah.
Chris: but Yeah.
subartic: Uh -huh.
Chris: Yeah. I mean, Monster 100 Wilds is coming out this year.
subartic: All right.
Chris: I've never really I've never big Been big into that.
subartic: I did not care for Monster Hunter. I tried it.
Chris: The control scheme is really weird.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: ah Yeah.
subartic: it's And didn't catch me.
Chris: Yeah, Assassin's Creed shadows. I mean, I'll give it a try probably.
Chris: Yeah, it goes to Yota Doom, the Dark Ages.
subartic: oh
Chris: Yeah, that should be neat.
subartic: Yeah, that could be...
Chris: That's like medieval doom, right?
subartic: Man, that could be good.
Chris: Yeah. yeah um Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: There's a new fable game coming out.
subartic: Really?
Chris: That's what it says.
subartic: Huh.
Chris: ah Yeah, Xbox, be the hero or villainous reboot of the beloved action RPG.
subartic: I have to reboot.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah, Outer Worlds 2.
Chris: Um, yeah.
subartic: Death Stranding 2.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. That I didn't play the stranding one.
subartic: No.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Oh, Civ 7 comes out next month. I will be playing the heck out of that.
Chris: Oh yeah. Yep. And they moved GTA six to next year.
subartic: Oh, really?
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Still making a million dollars a day off of it, so they have to...
Chris: I think they did. Yeah. Is Borderlands 4 this year?
subartic: I don't know.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Oh, of Outcompats this year too.
Chris: Oh, yeah.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah, so we'll see.
subartic: Civ 7's probably gonna be the one that I play the most for the next couple months.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Now, do you have a Steam Deck or just your computer?
subartic: Just my computer.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: I say, could you even play Civ seven on the steam deck? I wonder.
subartic: I bet you could.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Borderlands 4, it doesn't have an official date, just 2025.
Chris: ah Yeah, it's the remake of Metal Gear Solid three.
subartic: Metal Gear Solid Delta.
Chris: So.
subartic: Metroid Prime 4.
Chris: I don't know.
Chris: But see, I'm not going to I'm probably not going to get the switch, too, so.
subartic: Yeah. Vampire Budlines 2. Vampire Budlines was pretty cool.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
subartic: And 30 years ago, when it came out.
Chris: Yeah. God, was it like that long ago?
subartic: It was a long time ago.
Chris: Shoo. Yeah. When's the new bubble bubble come out?
subartic: Probably the new what?
Chris: Bubble bubble.
subartic: Oh, bubble bubble bubble.
Chris: Her dig dug.
subartic: I dig that. ah I would say 0 -7 is probably on my list and probably about. I'm gonna have to play about.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Hmm. Yeah. I'm hoping that the Indiana Jones game will come to PlayStation this year so I could try that.
subartic: Oh yeah.
Chris: But. Yeah, I'm sure there's probably unannounced games, they'll just pop up.
subartic: Well yeah.
Chris: So. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: So well, you ready for topic one?
subartic: Sure.
Chris: All right.
subartic: Uh, topic one. Um, if you can't tell I'm a little stuffed up in the old face and it drives me nuts that.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Look, I understand we can cure cancer. We're working on it.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: And that's bad cancer, but we can't come up with a single. really useful over -the -counter drug for the common cold or sniffles.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Nothing works. Nothing.
subartic: Not one product would I be like, yeah, that's what I take every time.
Chris: Yeah, I usually roll the dice. I'm like, maybe this time I'll try this.
subartic: Yeah. And it never, I mean. You can take the equal, so now you're just stuffed up and you feel like your brain's not working, right?
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Oh, yeah, yeah, it's like, oh, you know, now I'm stuffy and on meth.
subartic: so Yeah.
subartic: Zycam has got to be a scam, right? and That doesn't do anything.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
subartic: um
Chris: Remember the originals ICAM that it was those swabs
subartic: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: They had to jam up into your brain.
subartic: ah Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Suited is actually meth, so you can't get that.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: a
Chris: New syntax dries everything, but your sinuses out.
subartic: Right yeah, that's useful Yeah, nothing feels good better when your sinuses are clogged up like oh my mouth is dry ah Cough drops are just candy um as I put a cough right in my mouth right now, but I
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Well, we found some that were like mucinex brand cough drops and they have like echinacea and they actually make your tongue go numb.
subartic: buts fun Oh, Huh.
Chris: Yeah, I don't I don't know if it's the echinacea or what.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Does it make you feel better?
Chris: ah My daughter seems to think so.
subartic: Oh, okay.
subartic: And then if you follow it, so you're, you're not supposed to feed a cold. You feel a fever. What's the rules?
Chris: Um. Feed a fever, starve a cold.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I don't think that works.
Chris: No.
subartic: Because then you're just hungry and miserable.
subartic: ah Drink plenty of fluids. Yeah, I do that.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I saw one the other day was take red onions and soak them in honey and then strain the onions out and drink the honey.
Chris: Oh.
Chris: I mean, that's that's that's a solution.
subartic: It's the technical definition of a solution. Yes.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: um Remember the old school fishermen, friends, cough drops.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: the We used to challenge each other in school to see how long you keep them in your mouth. They were so disgusting.
Chris: Oh, yeah, yeah, because it was pretty much like they cut up a sardine and shoved it in there.
subartic: Yeah, those probably work just because of the adrenaline dump.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah, honey for the cough.
subartic: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: around Cool moisture to the air.
subartic: Hmm. I find hot moisture better.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah, like a nice hot shower.
subartic: Yeah, a nice hot shower clears you right out.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: But it's only good for while you're in the hot shower.
Chris: Yeah, but you just have to stay in the shower.
subartic: I can't come to that fire call. I gotta be in the shower.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Can't do that. I don't think they approve.
Chris: yeah Yeah.
subartic: It would just be nice to have something that works.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's like, and there's weird things, it's like, The VIX vapor rub.
subartic: That just...
Chris: but But you're supposed to put it on your the soles of your feet.
subartic: What?
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I thought you were supposed to put it on your chest.
Chris: ah I mean, that too, but yeah, my grandmother always insisted you put it on your feet and you put socks on.
subartic: Huh.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Why would that do anything?
Chris: I don't know. I I don't know.
subartic: Are your feet bones connected to your nose bones?
Chris: Yeah. Fix vapor rub on feet. There's no scientific evidence that vix vapor rub on your feet helps a cold symptoms, but it may help with other foot issues.
subartic: Okay.
Chris: ah Yeah.
subartic: I don't know what other foot issues you had that you were dealing with.
Chris: i Yeah. I don't know either. Yeah.
subartic: I had never heard that one.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I remember having a humidifier as a kid because my mother thought that worked.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I'm sure that just made my asthma worse.
Chris: Yeah. And we our parents probably didn't clean those humidifiers out the right way, so they were just, you know, vaporizing bacteria for us to inhale.
subartic: yeah Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I think we even had a humidifier that you could run vapor rub through it.
Chris: Yeah, we had one like that. It was like a plastic like rectangle that you filled with water and there was this brown tube that you put in the middle and like clicked in and there was a little tray on the top.
Chris: You could put VIX or something in.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: So I'm sure that that was also nice and fire safe.
subartic: yeah oh ah are What I know the most is our parents were dumb.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. yeah
subartic: I mean, we used to humidify the air when it was cold and in the winter by putting a pot of water on top of our kerosene heater that we left in the house.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yep. So when you passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning, you would knock the pot over and the jolt of the scalding water would alert you.
subartic: yeah
subartic: o i was That was the blame.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
subartic: I'm sure that in that instance it was like a dollar a month cheaper to heat the house with a kerosene than it was to use the electric heaters and that's why my dad did it.
Chris: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
subartic: Yeah, that's the smell.
Chris: Yeah. um I mean, one cure is the Italian penicillin soup.
subartic: I'm sorry, what?
Chris: Yeah, Italian penicillin. um I don't want to read about how you found this while wandering the hills. um Yeah.
Chris: See, I just want a damn recipe, you sons of bitches. God, I hate that. When you click on a recipe, it's like, oh, I was traveling in the foothills of Rome. Yeah. Ah, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Nope, nope. You son of a bitch.
Chris: Jump to recipe. No, not jump to video. No, no, no, no video.
subartic: Oh my god.
Chris: Recipe. There we go.
subartic: all Mulleulian? I heard this. That sounds like bullshit.
Chris: How to make Italian soup. All right. So water, or vegetable broth. Add Where are the ingredients?
Chris: Garlic, onion, ginger, carrot, celery, and then pastina, which is the little tiny pastas.
subartic: Uh -huh.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Cook it all down.
subartic: All right.
Chris: Yeah. So it's just like chicken soup without the grossness of chicken.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Oh, an onion poultice fried onions and cloth placed on a person's chest to help break through congestion.
Chris: No wonder it makes me feel good.
Chris: Hmm.
subartic: So I'm going to fry some onions and put them on your um my chest.
Chris: Are you making a cheese steak? Nope.
subartic: Ooh, fire cider, ferment various vegetables in apple cider vinegar.
Chris: Oh.
subartic: That sounds tasty.
Chris: Oh, yeah, I mean, a hot toddy always helps with the cold.
subartic: That was true, but I think that's just because you get drunk.
Chris: I mean, you got to drink a few of them to get drunk.
Chris: I mean, it's what, you know, hot water, whiskey, honey, and lemon.
subartic: I thought it was T. and then
Chris: I've made it both ways with T and without.
Chris: So.
subartic: Ooh, acupressure.
Chris: Yeah, it's where.
subartic: A sinus massage.
Chris: Oh.
subartic: I'm sure that works.
Chris: Yeah, yeah. And the problem inevitably with a cold is, yeah, you're stuffy and everything. And then at some point, your body's like, no, we shouldn't be stuffy anymore.
Chris: We should let this come out.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: And it just is the river flow from your nose.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. You wake up and it's like Slimer attacked you. Ah, God.
subartic: Yeah. That's no God, no.
Chris: Now, do you use the like neti pot? thing.
Chris: I've tried that.
subartic: That's just my wife uses it and I'm like, you know, you get brain bugs from that.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah, that's why you have to boil the water.
subartic: Yeah. It's boiling hot water and you knew it sounds great.
Chris: you'd Wait for it to cool down. Yeah, I tried the last time I tried it, I had one of the ones that was like a squeeze bottle instead of the pot.
subartic: That seems like a real place you don't want it.
Chris: And I squeeze that way too hard. And yeah, I'm pretty sure I ended up with water in my brain.
Chris: Yeah, it was, it did not feel good at all. So.
subartic: The whole thing doesn't sound good to me.
Chris: Yeah. Oh yeah. Cause you got to do that. We're breathing while you're doing it. And yeah.
subartic: I'll just suffer for four days and move on with my life.
Chris: ah Yeah. I mean, you know, extra vitamin C usually helps.
subartic: Do you think that's true?
Chris: No, but no.
subartic: Yeah, I don't think it's true there.
subartic: Because your body can only absorb so much vitamin C a day. It just pisses out the rest, right?
Chris: Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Vitamin C and zinc. I mean, or you you know if you're taking a bunch of supplements for that, you're paying for expensive P.
subartic: Mm -hmm.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Now I, uh, well, I used to a nice whiskey neat for the sore throat works great, but again, that's because the alcohol numbs the pain.
Chris: yeah Yep. Yeah. Yes.
subartic: Let you sleep though.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: that's What is it in Nyquil that makes you so sleepy?
subartic: I think it used to be alcohol.
Chris: Really?
subartic: I think so.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: I think it just straight up used to be booze.
Chris: God.
Chris: Well, it definitely tastes like Jaeger.
subartic: Oh, well, I can't.
Chris: Yeah, I mean, who ever thought, here, you're not feeling well, let's make you drink licorice.
subartic: People that had hated us.
Chris: Yeah. And then they're like, oh, no, we have cherry flavor. Nowhere on this earth does a cherry taste like that.
subartic: Made you sleepy. and high cool Oh, wow, I kept up.
Chris: It's probably like the decongestant or something.
subartic: oh Doxylamine, Sussanate, can cause drowsiness and sleepiness, but I don't think that's what it originally was.
Chris: OK.
Chris: Now.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah, Nyquil had to have booze in it.
subartic: Yeah.
subartic: Well, if I might call nighttime on eBay.
Chris: Nice.
subartic: Sure.
Chris: Yeah, liquid form of Nyquil contains 10 % alcohol.
subartic: Oh, there you go.
Chris: But it's not an active ingredient and is not intended to relieve cold and flu symptoms. It's similar to a glass of white wine.
subartic: What?
Chris: The liquid caps are alcohol free.
Chris: Yeah. Wow. Hmm.
subartic: Even to this day.
Chris: That's what it says. Yeah. Yeah. My quilt cold and flu nighttime relief contains 10 % alcohol.
subartic: hu
Chris: It's to keep the active ingredients dissolved in the mixture.
subartic: Well, I think I can tell you why you feel sleepy afterwards.
Chris: Yep. Hmm.
subartic: Huh.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Nyquil is technically 20 proof.
subartic: Fun.
Chris: ah
subartic: Heh. Don't drink nightclock, kids.
Chris: Yeah, God.
Chris: Well, you'd have to drink a lot.
Chris: You'd have to drink that whole bottle.
subartic: Well don't challenge them.
Chris: No, but that just sounds gross.
subartic: Those sound gross.
Chris: Yeah, I mean.
subartic: Yeah. Gross.
Chris: Yeah, I think the rest push fluids whiskey. Yeah, and the whole starve, yeah, feed a fever, starve a cold. Now you've got to give your body energy to burn off whatever's in it.
subartic: Mmhmm.
Chris: Starving, it's not going to help.
subartic: Yeah, you have to feed. That's the worst part when I'm sick is trying to keep my macros up. It's like, Oh, I don't want to eat.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Just want to have soup.
Chris: Yeah. Well, make some Italian penicillin soup.
subartic: Oh, they're just penicillin. So I
Chris: So am I, but <unk> there's not actual penicillin in the soup. Or just and rub your chest with your roasted onions.
subartic: might, I might try that. Probably do it at work tomorrow.
Chris: Oh, yes, yes.
subartic: That's bridges that put him on me.
Chris: Which so I just thought we had the a meeting this morning at station two and he was working overtime. I walk into station two. There's one of those electric radiators plugged in and he has his chair next to it and is leaning on it.
subartic: Oh, he better not.
Chris: so Oh gosh, I hope you take that to Montgomery County with you.
subartic: Well, you have to look, you know, somewhat professional.
Chris: He's a cold natured man.
subartic: He's something.
Chris: Yeah.
subartic: Well, did we move on to topic two? Or is I to say topic 020?
Chris: Topko two. Oh, what dialect is that?

subartic: Yeah, when they make good guacamole versus the crap guacamole, it's a whole different world.
Chris: Yeah, let's go.
subartic: Hmm.
Chris: It's lovely if you go to Chipotle or something and you look at the guacamole and they take that first scoop out and it's like brown.
subartic: There they go, they're getting the brown off.

Chris: Well, it's about the only Italian joint you have in Salisbury now.
subartic: Yeah.
Chris: Oh, I'm sorry, there is a lay olive garden.
subartic: A nice Irish stew is pretty good.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: I can't really think of any other worldly foods.
Chris: Nice Irish stew.
Chris: or a good shepherd's pie.
subartic: big fan of Shepherds. But yeah, I'd rather stew than a Shepherds pie, but I'll eat a Shepherds pie. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Which. Side tangent to the shepherd's pie, I got a potato ricer for Christmas. Best utensil ever invented.
subartic: Sure. Really?
Chris: Yes. My mashed potatoes are so light and fluffy and yeah.
Chris: Yep. Just boil them, pop them in, squeeze them out, mix them up with a little bit of butter.
subartic: We have the one where it has like the hand leaf to squeeze down.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. It's a, it's a game changer.
Chris: like I was actually disappointed when we made the recipes this week and there weren't any form of mashed potatoes for me to make.
subartic: You can just, you know, shoe arm in there somewhere.
Chris: Oh yeah. but We could have some mashed sweet potatoes tomorrow night with the salmon.

subartic: Uh oh.
Chris: We had a Walmart delivery.

Chris: So that means there are things on my front stoop I need to bring in my house.
subartic: Butter good before they freeze solid to your concrete.
Chris: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think we've kind of cast the pod anyway.
subartic: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: You know, Brad's out there listening on his own.
subartic: We're going to go warm up. There it is.
Chris: There it is. But, uh, yeah, you know, hope you folks, uh, you know, aren't getting seasonal colds, but if you are, you know, let us know what your home remedies are.
subartic: Try some fried onions. Probably let them cool down a little bit before you put them on you.
Chris: Yeah. A little, but maybe the heat also helps.
